If You Must Hate Buhari, Hate Me Too – Hadi Sirika Reacts To Wike’s ‘ADC Defection’ Claims

Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has dismissed reports that he has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Speaking via his X handle, Sirika stated that he remains committed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has no intention of leaving the party.

The former minister was responding to reports by the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, during an interview on Arise TV and a news report quoting the special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

He wrote, “I watched HE Nyesom Wike today on Arise claiming that I have joined the so-called coalition.

“Whilst still in shock, I read on Premium Times this evening a report credited to Chief Bayo Onanuga, making the same claim.

“I am a founding member of the APC; I gave it its name. I have no plans to leave it. I will always be where President Buhari is. If you must hate him, hate me too. I have no apology.”

He criticised Wike and Onanuga, saying they should have verified the information before making public claims.

“At their levels, they ought to fact check, I call upon our loyal members to ignore both statements and consider them pedestrian,” Sirika said.
